About The Range
The Range originated in the markets of the Southwest where Chris Dawson started business in 1980 as an open air market trader. It is from these humble roots that The Range has grown with the company opening the first 'superstore' at Sugar Mill Business Park in Plymouth in 1989. There are now 33 stores as far afield as York offering 65,000 products across 16 departments and employing over 2,500 staff.

The Range is recognised for its unique variety, and for offering affordable quality in its range of products. The Range concept is to offer 'mid-price' home, leisure and garden products, drawing together everything that could be needed for the stylish home at affordable prices.

In 2005 The Range ranked 78 on The Sunday Times Price Waterhouse Coopers profit track 100 league tables of the UK's fastest growing companies. In 2006 a congratulatory award was presented by Cadbury Trebor Bassett in recognition of sales achievements. On a personal level, Chris Dawson's entrepreneurial talent has earned him wide recognition amongst the business community.

WEEE Waste Electrical And Electronic Equipment
With effect from July 2007, the UK’s Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations require that all producers of electrical equipment are now obliged to pay for recycling of household electrical goods, where previously this bill was met by councils or items were not recycled at all.

These regulations also require that all retailers both actively assist in delivering a UK wide WEEE collection infrastructure and encourage the participation of consumers in recycling electronic equipment.

So that you can get your waste electrical
goods recycled, The Range is offering a
like for like recycling scheme. Simply
purchase a new toaster (for example)
and within 28 days bring in to the
store your old toaster and a valid
receipt and we will arrange for it to
be recycled for free.

Not all council sites are suitable to collect
all types of waste electrical goods but to find
out your nearest participating site (including
other collection facilities that may not be operated by the council) and for advice on all aspects of recycling at home, please visit www.recycle-more.co.uk Don’t forget to have your postcode ready to use in the ‘recycling facilities’ locator.

Electronic waste is one of the fastest growing waste streams and much of it can be recycled and resources recovered to make new consumer goods. To remind consumers of the collection methods available which in turn allow recycling to take place, all electrical items sold now carry the ‘crossed out wheeled bin’ symbol. To ensure your waste electronics don’t contribute to damaging the environment, please use www.recycle-more.co.uk and recycle today.

Electrical and Electronic Equipment that was made after 13 Aug 2005 should display this symbol on the packaging or product. Either send the product to be repaired and reused or use the bank locator to find where it can be recycled.
